Phoenix Mercury star Brittney Griner is no stranger to controversies. She is currently facing a prison sentence in Russia following her arrest a few months ago. However, this is not the first time she has sent headlines around the world.
A couple of years ago, Griner caused controversy over her opinion regarding the National Anthem and she even refused to stand up while it played. Moreover, her marriage with fellow WNBA star Glory Johnson was nothing less than controversial.
The two tied the knot in May 2015. Johnson and Griner were arrested three weeks prior to their wedding following allegations of both of them attacking each other. They already had a rocky relationship and Johnson’s pregnancy added fuel to the flame.

Glory Johnson announced that she was pregnant just a month after the two tied the knot. The very next day, Brittney Griner filed for the annulment of their marriage amidst much backlash for her actions.
In her statement, Brittney said, “Last Wednesday, Glory and I agreed to either legally separate, get divorced, or annul our marriage. I can confirm that today I filed for an annulment.”
Moreover, Johnson released a statement of her own following her pregnancy. “Being a professional athlete that plays year round, there is never a perfect time to get pregnant without putting my career on hold”, said the WNBA star while confirming that she will not play that season.
